This song is very successful in evoking a very specific atmosphere, which is somewhat illustrated by the accompanying video, especially the senses of "descending" and "ascending". The song itself is unique, but when I finally paid close attention to the video, that's when I really noticed the craft involved.
I am employed ( I have the marks to prove it ... ), but not as a song critic, and I have never even considered musical criticism as a vocation. Nevertheless, aren't we all critical of our environment?
Ooh, I've missed you, Maccabees. Massive smile on my face right now. I love this, I cannot stop listening to it, over and over. Excellent new track and really great video to match too! The Maccabees have arrived 2015!!!
***** living just outside of London and as a regular visitor of it I wouldn't call it beautiful. It has it's nice places and there are some great things to see and do, but it ain't pretty.
I remember being lost in Elephant & Castle, coming from a far Country being in London for the first time with no one to contact or get help was a little bit hard but i really enjoyed every second i was in london, i remember seeing a lot of gentles with their suits and always wondered if they were happy, cuz they look like kind a robots, well here wont be enough to tell my history there but i can tell you all the feelings this song transmits reflect exactly how i felt when i was there ❤️. thank you maccabees.
It's like, a combination of Colour in it and Wall of Arms, somehow powerful and young, plus that atmospheric feeling that Given to the Wild gave, a bit more mature sound. Dang it. This is good.
Picked this song at random, thank you music gods! First time to hear this group, instant love. What power! Very well crafted to control tempo and rhythms. Two questions though, is that William Shatner in the cab? And what the heck does he pull out of his jacket?
The Maccabees" aparecieron en la escena londinense en torno a 2004 llamados a convertirse en una prometedora banda de éxito. Su debut "Colour It In" fue acogido con entusiasmo, aunque por entonces estaba a rebufo de otra emergente formación llamada Bloc Party, que se llevó los mayores halagos. Aquel grupo ya desapareció por culpa, en gran parte, del ego de su vocalista Kele Okereke. The Maccabees continúan y nos presentan su último trabajo después de tres años de silencio con "Given to the Wild" . Siguen fieles a ese sonido de guitarrazos, teclados y marcados cambios de ritmo, pero en esta ocasión regresan más fieros. "Marks to prove it", "Something like hapiness" y "Spit it out" es el trío ganador de este disco. La mano del productor Laurie Latham (Echo & The Bunnymen, Squeeze, The Stranglers), parece que les ha otorgado un plus de vitalidad en los arreglos. Es su cuarto disco y perfectamente puede ostentar el título de mejor disco de The Maccabees. Música independiente novedades.
About time you pulled your finger out Orlando. Glad you did though, great track and nice to see a band doing it for themselves. Look forward to the film, album and world domination

This line is incredible.

Can't have enough of this song...from the first listening.
are you a unemployed song critic
I am employed ( I have the marks to prove it ... ), but not as a song critic, and I have never even considered musical criticism as a vocation. Nevertheless, aren't we all critical of our environment?
im critical of my food and lifestle and style of life....but i dont listen to myself really
Shame. One's instincts are usually right.
We love this intensely energetic indie-rock tune from TheMaccabeesVEVO, it's our Vevo UK Track Of The Week!
Too right.
Ooh, I've missed you, Maccabees. Massive smile on my face right now.
I love this, I cannot stop listening to it, over and over.
Excellent new track and really great video to match too!
The Maccabees have arrived 2015!!!
London is so beautiful!
***** Elephant and Castle through rose-tinted lens. Trust me, it's not beautiful
I live in London haha this is London through rose tinted glasses irl it's not that great haha
***** living just outside of London and as a regular visitor of it I wouldn't call it beautiful. It has it's nice places and there are some great things to see and do, but it ain't pretty.
ewyousmellbad haha yep i live in New Cross, i second that.
***** 媽媽逼我哥哥說‘靑少年得自由。’Can you translate?
Their farewell gig was amazing, privileged to have caught them in their final gig!
onemoresi there with you amazing gig amazing venue mystery jets were outstanding as well could not have asked for a better night!!
Elephant and Castle. My favouite band filmed this while i was just across the road working on that site. Been in those tunnels
Stevie boy is here in October 2024.XX what a beautiful song, I absolutely love it. ❤❤❤❤
Maccabees are one of the best bands ever formed. The depth of their rawness and ecstasy is genius. Miss you guys so much.
Love this song so much, gets me motivated in the morning. Gets my 55 years old body going. Lol❤❤
A magnificent tune....one of their finest works!
Song of the year
hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha
The direction of this video is impeccable. The Maccabees are good.
The video and the song are a permanent journey in life, it is a great pleasure. Greetings from Mexico City
this is a brilliant song. odd they'd disband just as they reached their creative peak
One’s creative peak is the ideal time to disband.
@@willsarrington3557 is it? U2 reached there’s in the 1980’s yet have continued to amass fortunes ever since.
@@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 maybe not the best time financially, but reputation-wise
@@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 Yes, but they're shit....
At least we can say they never released a bad track. Tho, after listening to marks to prove to it i wanted more. Much more. :D
The outstanding single of the year to date - PERIOD!
Fantastic song........and great to see Elephant & Castle starring in a video. :)
Every new Maccabees song is my favorite ♥♥♥
This was their best album and it's a shame they didn't see the peak of their creativity through. They really touched on something different here.
that instrumental bridge with the piano is insane i love it
I remember being lost in Elephant & Castle, coming from a far Country being in London for the first time with no one to contact or get help was a little bit hard but i really enjoyed every second i was in london, i remember seeing a lot of gentles with their suits and always wondered if they were happy, cuz they look like kind a robots, well here wont be enough to tell my history there but i can tell you all the feelings this song transmits reflect exactly how i felt when i was there ❤️. thank you maccabees.
The Maccabees are back. This is one of their best.
